Just some rustling clothes.

It's been a hectic time indeed. Thursday evening was particularly fun — after going to A&E with arkady (accident at work) and getting out of there at midnight, we were hassled on the bus by a rowdy drunk on drugs, who then (a) took a swing at me (pissweak) and (b) tried to steal Arkady's bag (she saw red). When the police showed up (originally called by the conductor), they were quite keen for us to make statements and be prepared to show up in court. They're going to do the dickhead for attempted robbery. I won't go into further detail until after court, but it was certainly two major evenings' worth of excitement. I got to bed at four and got up at seven.

Friday: redcountess and I had a Quiet Night In with pizza.

Saturday: Arkady and I went to the B-Movie Village Fete Of The Damned. I got pics, mostly of the bands (Swarf and Syaronosui, rosiaconite's J-pop band). You can also see liz_lowlife and godgirl being untoward with a plunger. flickgc's accent slowly went Mancunian as she talked about Rosi. cavalorn offered sage advice on monkeys. We left at midnight, before the evening had worn out its welcome.

Sunday: The purchase of a suit jacket. The hardest part was finding something blazerish but not obnoxious — anything with three buttons leaves me looking like a taller Alexei Sayle at worst and a Russian Mafia thug at best. They did have some very nice jackets I would have been most pleased to own, but they looked far too much like the stuff I was used to seeing in op-shops (that's Australian for charity shop) in Perth for ten dollars. Paying full retail just seems wrong. And might leave one reluctant to take it to a smoky pub and spill beer on it. It's just not rock'n'roll.

Monday: Day off work ill. I did get the dishes done at last.

Tuesday: I forgot my tie this morning. So I dashed out and bought the cheapest technically-tie object available. Polyester ties are the business equivalent of a hair shirt. I'll be leaving this one in the desk drawer as a warning to myself. Liz went out to look at a new flat — not amazing, but almost there! We need to give notice soon ...
